My laptop is struggling when playing games. What would be the best upgrade for it to make it less laggy when playing sim or anyother game?

problem of laptops is that you can not modify it too much. but what you can do is add some ram memory for sure

Also idk if you've already done this but try updating your drivers for your graphics card.

Ya its all updated. I have 4gb of ram. Do you think 8 would help?

I don't think it will change much....what exactly is your laptop performance?

then I think you can't modify lot. Best advice is to buy a pc

Sorry for highjacking this thread but i don't want to start a new topic.

I'm thinking about buying the alienware m15x are they any good?

Heres the one im looking at. Will it be able to run mxs with shaders and will i be able to race the supercross series without any lag on high settings?

My graphics are at like 5%, but if you take out like bike models, and wheel models it will help alot..
